The Blues skipper admits he has stayed in touch with Hiddink since his four-month spell in charge in 2009 when he led the club to FA Cup glory.
Now Hiddink is being linked with a return to Stamford Bridge in place of Carlo Ancelotti - and he would have Terry's full backing.
England skipper Terry said: "Listen, I was really sad to see Carlo go. I had two great years with him. "I said last year, ideally, it would have been nice had Carlo stayed for three or four years and we could be settled around him.
"Maybe he feels a little bit hard done by. But that's football. He understands that. I have played under another good manager. Now I look forward to the next one."
"I see with him players turning up late for meetings and then getting left out of the side, having been in the side previously, if they turn up five minutes late. No matter who it was.
"That was Guus, his type of character. He was very understandable and approachable as well, but, at the same time, he had that about him too where no one messed about with him.
"He was in there for a short space of time, so sometimes it can be easier, but at the same time he loves the day-to-day stuff.
"He'd come in and hit the ground running. He knows what the players are about, what our strengths and weaknesses are, the training schedules. He knows what the individuals are about.
"I would like to see him back. I've been in contact with him since he left as well. I know he's been involved with the club anyway, but I kept in contact on a personal level. That speaks volumes for him."
